Updated Claws of Shirvallah ModelThe special cat form has been modified--players wear loincloths and jewelry while shapeshifted.

Humorous Garrison AbilitiesOver the weekend we covered some amusing Garrison Missions, like Senda de los Titanes and Estudio de baile. As we were playing on the beta this weekend, we noticed our Garrison followers had abilities that were a bit more humorous than usual and poking fun at each class.

We skimmed http:\/\/wod.wowhead.com\/garrisonabilities for the highlights, here's what we found. Too bad regular abilities can't get the same tooltip treatment!Ascensión: Cast by a shaman to greatly increase burst damage. Seems unfair at times.Rajar: Used by a warrior to damage multiple enemies. Also used in describing every arena team composition.Carrerilla: Used by a druid to quickly dash out of harm's way, as if they didn't already move fast enough.Escudo divino: Cast by a paladin to prevent damage. Also used to escape in a cowardly manner (shameful).Drenar vida: Cast by a warlock to regain life. Duh.Brebaje de energía: Used by a monk to significantly increase burst damage. Also tastes fantastic. Miedo: Cast by a warlock to neutralize a dangerous opponent and sometimes cause them to violate basic laws of physics. Odd.Trampa congelante: Used by a hunter to neutralize a dangerous enemy. Watch your step!Maleficio: Cast by a shaman to neutralize a dangerous enemy. Also makes them feel dumb.Bloque de hielo: Cast by a mage to prevent massive damage. For a while.Patada: Used by a rogue to interrupt a spell (super frustrating).Salto de fe: Cast by a priest to help the target escape harm's way (or just to mess with them).Metamorfosis: Cast by a warlock pretending to be a demon hunter. Greatly increases burst damage.Porrazo: Used by a rogue to neutralize a dangerous enemy (or just to annoy you).Carbonizar magia: Cast by an annoying imp to remove a harmful magic effect.Sprint: Used by a rogue to escape harm's way. Also used to move quickly between the mailbox and auction house.Invocar infernal: Cast by a warlock to feel powerful. Also contributes significant damage. Makes nearby innocents very nervous.

Updated Facial FeaturesA few weeks ago, Blizzard published an Artcraft explaining that WoD characters would receive updated facial features in a future build. Players have been reporting that their beta characters look more expressive now, so we've screencapped all the beta faces for you to browse!

You can check out our past posts to see images of the old character selection screen.

Gaze of the Black Prince ReturnsBlizzard has posted that Gaze of the Black Prince will return on Thursday, August 14, running for a little under two weeks until August 26. This buff increases reputation gains with the Black Prince, but more importantly increases the drop rate of all the items needed for the Legendary Cloak quest.

Call me Buzz Killington but I hope those tooltips are just temporary. Much too fourth-wall breaking for my taste. And if not, c'est la vie. "You don't have to read them!" etc.

45 more mounts to go!

Well 41 once the other challenge mode ones are available and the corehound :)

But, I still would've loved something more than just a reskin. Like a 3 person mount of some sort

In my opinion the emerald drake seems like a lazy choice for an annoying achievement like that one, i mean yeah that "skin" its one of the missing ones but still we have like a bazillion of those drakes already and there's not even a small significant difference not even a tiny wink for an achievement mount, but again that's just my opinion as well as how i don't like the Shirvallah model seems a bit poor compared with all the new changes they hav been adding to characters its like an old-ultra-buffed-troll model even with the weird neck thing.

Personally I would prefer a drake that was a bit more unique for 250. At least have it breathe special green fire.\r\rAlso I think with no flying in Draenor at launch, this mount could look a little silly just walking on the ground. Give us a really awesome ground mount to use.

Even like ppl said on twotter do the epoch ones at least the are unique in color. Im just tired of not even wanting tl ride the achievement mounts.

Why are people complaining about the emerald drake as if any of the other mount achievement mounts are in any way unique?
